Call for nominations: AMWA President and Vice President 2019-2020

After four years at the helm, Michelle and Sarah will be stepping down from their roles as President and Vice President in August.

We would therefore like to extend an invitation to anyone who is interested in volunteering for either of these roles to get in touch now and express their interest so we can work together in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition and a strong future for AMWA.

AMWA is in a very healthy position financially, and we have implemented many systems over the past few years to ensure the committee, association and conference run efficiently and smoothly.

We encourage anyone with an interest in deepening their knowledge of the industry, raising their profile in the medical writing community in Australia and NZ, or who has innovative ideas to take our association into 2020 and beyond to get in touch.

Think you’re too busy? We’ve noticed over our years of volunteering that the busiest people are those who get things done!

Please email amwapresident@medicalwriters.org to express your interest and learn more.

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT! AMWA Early Career Award 2026

Congratulations to Nicole Vassileff, winner of the AMWA Early Career Award for 2026!

Nicole's submission, When the Eye Learns to Grow Back, made a significant impression on the judging panel:

"I learnt something about a topic I previously knew nothing about – the complex scientific information was presented in an accessible, informative and interesting way."

"I really enjoyed reading this piece from start to finish. It is clear that the writer has a talent for producing scientific writing that is both clear and engaging. I hope they continue to bring these skills to the field of medical and health communication—Australia needs more writers like them."
